Requested move 27 December 2020[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved per nom. The 10:1 pageview difference is more than sufficient to declare the singer primary topic, particularly since it is basically a TWODABS situation. No such user (talk) 12:39, 28 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

– The singer has 3447 views in the last 30 days, the footballer (Nick Holmes (footballer)) only 278 in the same time. These are the only 2 people with that name -- Binho24 (talk) 05:49, 27 December 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. —Nnadigoodluck███ 14:44, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 14:52, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Neither are well-known enough to be primary topic. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:07, 27 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Necrothesp. While I'm more familar with the singer, and I've not heard of the footballer, in wiki-terms, there is no primary topic. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 08:47, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. This is a clear WP:Primary topic in a WP:TWODABS situation. Roughly 9 out of 10 readers landing on the unnecessary dab page want the singer. A hatnote on this article will work just as well for the 10% who want the footballer. Station1 (talk) 09:50, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Disambiguation is not required with a primary topic and one other use. Support Nick Holmes (singer) to Nick Holmes with a hatnote to Nick Holmes (footballer). Delete the current redirect Nick Holmes (disambiguation). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 09:31, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Only applies if one is primary topic. I would dispute that there is a primary topic here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:43, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - Pageviews indicate a clear primary topic by usage. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:29, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
